Continuing from last message. I will be 71 in December, I dont know how old you are but please try to ignore the 6 to 10 month prognosis and although you should get your finacial matters in order so you dont worry about them. Enjoy every day as a gift . Enjoy your wonderful country. Greece sounds likes a great place. I am from New York. U,S,A. Since our kind of the disease is rare is it nice to hear from someone who truly understands.Sarcomatoid is suposed to be very agressive but I have not had any real spread since I started treatment.
My Father has Sarcomitiod RCC IV it was found last year in may 2008 he had his right kidney out. After that they found a growth in his lung. He had surgery to remove half of his left lung and it was the sarcomitiod RCC. He just went for his 3 month CT scan and they have found the start of a growth on his rt lung. They will be doing a needle biopsy of the growth in his lung in a few days and if it is the Sacomitiod RCC they will be starting him on some sort of treatment. I am trying to figure out exactly what treatments he should be looking at taking. Right now he is a strong healthy 55 yearold. He can fight this thing but we need to be smart about every step. because as you know it is so fast growing. I welcome anyones segestions on treatment.
